Creating credits animation in PowerPoint is a great way to add a professional touch to your presentation. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- Open your PowerPoint presentation and navigate to the slide where you want to add the credits animation. Click on the ‘Insert’ tab on the top menu.
- Click on ‘Text Box’ in the drop-down menu and draw a text box at the bottom of your slide where you want the credits to start.
- Type in the text you want to appear in the credits. This could be the names of the people who contributed to the presentation, references, or any other information you want to include.
- Select the text box and click on the ‘Animations’ tab on the top menu. In the Animation pane, look for the ‘Scroll’ animation under the ‘Exciting’ category. Click on it to apply the animation to your text box.
- On the right side of the screen, you’ll see an option for ‘Animation Pane’. Click on it to open the Animation Pane where you can adjust the settings for your credits animation.
- Click on the drop-down arrow next to your text box in the Animation Pane. Select ‘Effect Options’.
- In the dialog box that pops up, adjust the ‘Speed’ setting to control how fast the credits scroll. The higher the number, the slower the credits will scroll. You can also adjust the ‘Start’ setting to determine when the credits start scrolling. ‘On Click’ means the credits will start scrolling when you click your mouse, while ‘After Previous’ means they will start scrolling after the previous animation on the slide has finished.
- Click ‘OK’ to close the dialog box and save your settings. You can now play your slide show to see the credits animation in action.
Remember, the key to a professional-looking credits animation is to keep it simple and clear. Avoid using fancy fonts or colors that might distract from the text, and make sure the speed is slow enough that your audience can comfortably read the credits.
